Mark Carrier Gives Bucs Offseason Thumbs-Up

Former Bucs Pro Bowl wide receiver Mark Carrier still keeps up with the Bucs from afar, specifically in North Carolina as he works for the Stinking Panthers.

Carrier appeared with Tom Krasniqi on WDAE-AM 620 earlier this week and talked Bucs, specifically the Bucs draft. He likes the Bucs’ offseason moves.

“Actually I think they did a really good job starting off with [Darrelle] Revis. That’s the best pick in the draft. And then you get a corner who can learn under Revis and make sure Revis is totally healed up,” Carrier said.

“A lot of people thought highly of the quarterback [Mike Glennon] from North Carolina State, so hopefully he gives Josh that competition that gets him going.

“I just thought they did a really good job of addressing needs and adding stability. They covered the safety positions quite a bit in free agency and now they have guys on the [defensive] line they can add to the rotation. The NFC South is a passing division and you have to bring pressure on those quarterbacks to do anything that can disrupt the timing.”
